Easter Eggstravaganza!

We took full advantage of the beautiful weather this Easter weekend and enjoyed family and friends at 4 different easter hunt's/parties. It started off Friday night in Bulldog Canyon with my mom's side of the family, it is a tradition for the Heaton's to go out to the desert and do an egg hunt hike and then have dutch oven dinner. I didn't get any pictures of this one but the girls had a great time climbing the "mountains" around us and they even got to ride on Grandpa's quad with Dad! We didn't get home until bed time and this is what we found as we pulled into the garage...it was so sweet to see Rory & Caleb asleep holding hands.
Then Saturday we had the opportunity to listen to the prophets voice while we helped the girls color hard boiled eggs for the first time and those were their favorite eggs to find and eat!
 Then in between sessions we went out to the soccer park in our neighborhood and did a hunt with some of our neighbors.

It was a lot of fun and the funniest part was that Rory would inspect each egg she picked up, meaning she'd open it up and if it didn't have candy in it she wanted she would close it up and put it back down! I couldn't believe it!
We also ate come cupcakes at the park afterwards and then headed back home for the second session of conference.
After that we went to Grandma & Grandpa Hanchett's house to do a hunt in their backyard

and decorate cookies with our cousins.

We hung out there with the dad's went to the priesthood session and then packed up some tired kiddios and headed home.
 Sunday after both sessions of conference we headed over to Grandma & Grandpa Turley's house for a hunt there and to celebrate Grandpa's birthday!
Of course we had a wonderful time with eggs and baskets and candy but and we could never forget the true reason to celebrate this time of year, that our Savior Jesus Christ has Risen and that HE LIVES!
